Beginning with Benjamin`s "Passages", in whih the light brings into view the enshrouded alleys of Paris, through numerous artistic projects of the 19th and the 20th century, M. Bille`s anthropological and A. E. Stamp`s behavioural studies, ending with the onept of the intensity of light as the indiator of the metropolitan potential of a given region of the world (e.g., NASA "World Lights project"), as well as an element of the anesthetisation of urban iconosphere (e.g., light and laser design), the light is also becoming an inherent element of research within urban and spatial studies. Usually, however, the subject of light ours "additionally", "by the way", as a "supplement", and not as the primary theme, i.e., the basic line of reflection and the mutual realm of presented ideas.}, abstract={Considering the fat that artificial light generated the phenomena unknown thus far (e.g., light pollution, over-illumination, et.) and led to the modern victory of humanising and familiarising urban space (e.g., "nightlife", traffic, etc.), it is, however, necessary to define its role within social processes, as well as its location in the realm of urban and spatial sociology interests, as equivalent in relation to other topics. The article is an attempt to "rehabilitate" the subject of light within the realm of social sciences and to point out possible explanation paths concerning the reflection on "cities of light".}, type={artykuł}, title={Miasto świateł, światła miasta czy. . . światło w mieście?
